" Tfle KING is in no respect worse to-day, though His :MAJESTY has passed the eight , wiih very little sleep. " H. R. REYNOLDS. " H. HALFORD. le W. HEBERDEN. " M. BAILLTE." It la ill be perceived by the above, that Dr. Ray- NOLDS, who attended the KING during his former illness, has beeti added to the number of the present attendii.g Physicians on His MAJESTY... A report has been circulated, that during the last' week an alteration has taken place in : the situation of the French fleet in the Scheldt, in consequence of Sir EDWARD PELLeu's fleet having been forced, into the - Downs. The report added, that information . had reacted the'Adnairalty of the French fleet hav ing effected its escape from- the Scheldt. We are enabled to say, that there is not the slightest fothacia-, lion for this report ; • the French fleet so far from having escaped from the Scheldt has retired rip that River, towards its winter quarters. It is stated in a Morning Paper, that. the Orestes slcop of war has arrived from the coast of Portugal, and that she , had not observed any illuminations or firings upon the coast of Portugal, from which it is inferred, that no vialory had been obtained-by The allies up to the time of the departure of the Orestes. This statement is entirely founded in er ror, for the Orestes has not been near the coast of Portugal, and of course can have brought no such intelligence. There was a report in town this day, that a com plete revolution had taken place in Paris—lla NA- POLEON had been seized and imprisoned, and that Lis new Empress had escaped, and had gone on the road to Germany. The origin of this unexpetied event is said fo have been the refusal of a considera ble body of soldiers who had been ordered to Spain, to go upon so forlorn a service, and that their ex an3ple had been followed by_ a vast number of the military. Though we deem it our duty „to submit this report' to our Readers, we are not disposed to place any confidence in 4. - VEvery fresh account which we receive from the Continent tends strongly to confirm the opinion we h3ve for some time entertained, that some import ant changes are about to t4ke plAce in the North of Europe. That the Russian Government is at length convinced of the nature of BUONAPARTE'S designs, and of the impoltey of its own condul, is, we think, obvious, from the anxiety it has displayed to adjust all ditferencts with Turkey, even upon unfavourable We very much fear, however, that ALEX ANDER has seen his error too late. By his unjust and impolitic war apinst Sweden, lie has thrown that power completely into the hands of France, And while he vainly thought he was humbling an ancient rival, and making an important addition to his own dominions, he was in fa& adopting the most effeatual measures for weakening, if not de stroying his own power s If BUONAPARTF, succeeds, as we'lear he will, in getting a French (force into Sweden, it will be in his power to exclude Russia from all communication with the rest of liEurope, because, by the possession of Swe den, and by his influence over Denmark, he will be enabled, to shut up the Baltic ; and on the side of Poland be has established a complete barrier against ItU3S6. It is stated that Couriers are pass ing with great rapidity between Russia and Den mark, and if they are both sensible of their danger, and vigorously use the means still left to them to avert it, perhaps the North of Europe may yet be saved. We say, perhaps," because these Powers have been so long aiding BUONAPARTE'S plans against their own independence, that we cannot be very sanguine in our expeelations as to the result of any exertion they may rdW make against him. terns. We stated last we, k, that BUONAPARTE had issued another and more violent Decree, in the hope of excluding British merchandize from the Continent of Europe, and we have this day given it at length. Accustomed as we have been for a long time to the tyrannit..ll and oppressive Decrees of BUON APA for the purpose of accomplishing his favourite cib je.:i, we have, me confess, read the present one wit's , some surprise. It surpasses in violence every fhii we before heard of; but at the same time it stiord- the strongest evidence of the inefficicy of all his tomer regulations, SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK, P. M. Winds f Castle, sth Nov. ato. " The! KING has' had a . good night ; Hrs Me ,r ESI 1' has been rather better the last twenty--fu. t hours. " R. REYNOLDS. " HENIR . Y HALF ORD . , " W.. HEBERDENT. " M. BAILLIE." • Yesterday, as soon as St. Paul'S clot•k had struck four, the great bell, in that Ctliedra began to toll for her Royal Highness the late Princess AMELIA. We are sorry to learn that it is understood at Windsor, that the QUEEN and the Princess MARY are slightly indisposed. The Qv.Etrq was entering Augusta Lodge, on a visit to 'the PrincessAMELlA, when she received intimation of her death. Although prepared for the event, the shock was sp.oreat, that her NA IESTY was for half an hour unable b to bear removal to the Castle. The remains Of the much-lamented Princess. AMELIA will be deposited.. in the newly cOnstratied mausoleum adjoining St. George's Chapel,Wind-! sor, which is to be the future place of ititerment for the Illustrious House` Of Brunswick. The Court Mourning on . the above melancholy occasion 'Will be for three months. • . . The mourning for the Princess AAIELIA will be black bombazine, or raven-grey silks, trimmed with crape ; bonnets and mantles of black silk; covered with crape. Full dress,--crape dresses, ornamented with jet and btigles ; bandeaus' or turbans to corre spond , ; black crape fan', and black l e athe r &dyes. The undress gowns will be made tight at the throat, with muslin orcrape cutTs.--Gentletnen's full dress; black swords, crape sword-knots and weepers. It is a remarkable coincidence, that his MAJES• 'TV's present indisposition took place the precise day on which he had coal* ed thou .50th year of his reign. *The death oi the Princess AMELIA was commu nicated to the Duchess of BRUNSWICK ' , the Princess of WALES, and Princess SoPHIA of GLOUCESTER, at the same instant on Friday evening. The two latter were dining with the Duchess of BRUNSWICK ' at her house in Hanover-square;- when they all re ceived letters informing theth of the event. - . We understand that the funeral of the Princess AMELIA is to be as private as possible at Windsor. The outside coffin is making •by Mr. FRANCE, of Pall Mall. , The suspicions so generally entertained of the late CROWN PRINCE of Sweden having been poisoned, appear to be well founded :—a goldsmith and a comedian have, lately been ,sentenced by the Royal Chancery to t imprisomnent fOr life, for having been implicated in the conspiracy ; and the person who administered the poison is mentioned as havingre ceived 6000 rix dollars :lb, perpetrating the crime, with which sum he had succeeded in escaping out of the Swedish territory. The French Minister at War (Dulte of Feltre) has officially notified to the Commander of the French troops in Germany, that 600 men shall be drafted from every regiment of infantry, and 200 froth each of the cavalry, and that they shall, as a favOnr, be permitted to return to France, and from thence proceed to Spain. Advicesfrom.BourdeSOK, of a - late date, mention, that the want of seamen ,to man .the ship of war now fitting out,at Antwerp and other ports had oc , - casiOned the transmission of an order to Spain, com manding the forwarding , horn thence of as many seamen as could be spared, ,and that in consequence several battalions were on their march from that country for . Ant werp. The establishment of the British laws in the Island of Trinidad is immediately 'to take place, Mi nisters having given assurances to that effeat, to the agent for the colony. • The apprehensions of an attack upon Heligoland are again revived among the inhabitants of that Island. Information having reaChed,it, that 'orders bad been received at leuxhaven, about the latter end of last month, to send from thence five 'hundred troops and twenty pieces of cannon to Newark, arid that directions had been given by the French to buoy the shallows in such a manner as to make the 'com munication practicable by night. The Horatio and two or three other ships of war had proceeded to the mouth of the Elbe. Died on Friday last, GEORGE LEGGE, EA. and Baron of Darin - tooth, Viscount .Lewisham, and Lord Chamberlain of - his Majesty's Household ;. his Lordship was born O&. 3, 17,55., and succeeded his father, WILLIAM, the late Earl, on July 15, 1801. He is succee,!ed in his honours and estates by his eldest son, WILLIAM; Viscount LEwisnim, now Earl of Dartmouth. • His Lordship dited in Devonshire, whither he hod gone from. Bath, by the advice of his Physicians, in order to try what benefit might be derived from, the sea air. The death of the Lord Chamberlain was commu nicated to his brother, the Dean of Windsor, and Coloael TAYLoa, for the information of his Majes ty, on Saturday, by letters. On the death of his Lordship being officially made known, Lord JOHN TIII;NNE, the Vice-Chamberlain, began to ad; and on Saturday morning he left town for Witidsor to take her Majesty's commands respe6ting the funeral of the Princess AMELIA. We learn that the Board of Trade yesterday re commenced granting Licenses to export Colonial Produce, by such ships as had previously brought to England cargoes of grain. On Thursday 300 deserters from the French army in Portugal landed at Portsmouth, and were marched to Fort Cumberland. They are to join the Royal Sicilian Regiment. A more deplorable body of men were never seen : they had scarcely any clothing on, and appeared half starved. They are of all the nations on the Continent. MA! Akit;vEb r i Waterford. 1) L.
